Gwangjin-gu, Customized Management for Vulnerable Low-Income Households Not Receiving Benefits

Establishment of a TF Team to Strengthen Management of Non-beneficiary Poor Households on the Borderline

Efforts to Eliminate Blind Spots through Designation of Dedicated Officials and Activation of the Living Security Committee

Gwangjin-gu (District Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) is strengthening customized welfare services for non-beneficiary poor households. This aims to enhance management and seek support measures for hidden crisis households living on the borderline between beneficiary and non-beneficiary status, thereby establishing a dense welfare safety net.

The target group includes residents who are not selected as beneficiaries due to income requirements or support obligation criteria, or those whose beneficiary status has been suspended due to changes in assets, support conditions, or death, and who fall on the borderline of the National Basic Livelihood Security System selection criteria among the non-beneficiary poor households.

Starting in August, the district has formed a "Non-beneficiary Poor Household Management TF Team" led by the Deputy District Mayor, maintaining a close cooperative system with related institutions and departments such as the police station and education office to actively identify and support non-beneficiary poor households in welfare blind spots.

Additionally, customized welfare services will be provided, including ▲designation of dedicated rights protection officials ▲provision of welfare information notification services ▲strengthening the local safety net through utilization of the private sector ▲activation of the Living Security Committee.

Meanwhile, the district is promoting various projects to support non-beneficiary crisis households, such as the 200 Household Care Project, Gwangjin-style Care SOS Accompaniment Service, Emergency Housing 119, and public utility fee support for energy-vulnerable groups.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “Although there are various systems to support crisis households, I still think they are insufficient,” and added, “We will continue to devote all our efforts to eliminating welfare blind spots through proactive and preemptive identification and support of non-beneficiary poor households.”
